May you walk with purpose, joy, and grace.
May happy thoughts invade your space.
May winter sunshine light your eyes.
May your day erupt with glad surprise.
Kitty Suppertime
My kitties like their supper
and they like it on the dot.
They don’t like to wait for eating.
A delay they like-eth not.
My kitties hope I’ll plan ahead…
that’ll I’ll anticipate
their wish for food and comfort
and I’ll never make them wait.
Planet Earth
It’s a beautiful planet,
this Planet Earth.
It’s the place where Man
was given birth.
It’s a beautiful planet.
I hope we’ll stay.
I hope that we will
keep it that way.
School Shooting in St. Louis
The killing’s in St. Louis today.
Tomorrow? We don’t know.
Perhaps the killer’s loading now
and getting set to go.
COVID Shot Five
Now I’ve got the COVID booster.
Feeling frisky as a rooster!
This is COVID Number Five.
I think I’ll make it through alive.
Wildfire Smoke
I made it through
our Smoke Attack!
Our rainy, drizzly
days are back.
I made it through
the Smoke from Fire!
Once again,
I can in-spire!
Uvalde, Texas
The Uvalde children haunt me.
Blurry shadows in my mind.
Always seeking resolution.
Seeing answers they won’t find.
Post-COVID Commerce Resumes
A ship’s in the harbor.
Blazing with light.
Swinging at anchor.
Passing the night.
Uvalde, Texas
The Uvalde children haunt me
with their poignant, silent cry.
A nation’s lost its bearings
when it lets its children die.

“Wildfires burning in the region
may affect your air.”
Well, Duh! Hack! Hack! Cough! Cough! Choke! Choke!
There’s No Relief No Where!
